gps is use to determine a place in which you are at by a satellite by a formila of (velocity x time= distance). and they also use a thing called triangulation which is using three to prove latitude and longitude but four to obtain altitude. (there are currently 24 satellites in the air). the military uses gps to know where all there soldjers are and to get a clue on where the enemy is. comertial airlines use gps to determin where there air planes are and to know how close other one are.

This makes the GPS useful for navigation in different situations. When included in a mobile phone the GPS becomes even more useful because it will be portable and less likely to be forgotten.
